Monthly Bolt-Ons to Your Package

Payroll

Every pay run, on the schedule you actually pay to. Gross to net for each employee, payslips issued on or before payday, and the Full Payment Submission filed with HMRC on or before the day you pay. Nothing is filed and no payslip goes out until you have approved the run.

• The pay run weekly, fortnightly or monthly, including overtime, commission, bonuses and salary sacrifice
• Payslips issued securely to your employees
• Real Time Information filed with HMRC on or before every payday
• Starters, leavers, P45s and HMRC tax code notices applied in the right period
• Statutory sick, maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental pay
• Auto enrolment assessment, enrolment, opt outs and pension uploads
• Directors' National Insurance method set deliberately rather than by default
• P60s at the year end, and P11Ds or payrolled benefits in kind
• The payroll journal posted into Xero each period

Priced on the number of employees and how often you pay them, and billed monthly alongside your package. Auto enrolment set up, a re-declaration of compliance and taking on a payroll that has gone wrong elsewhere are one-off pieces, quoted as fixed fees through eba Assist.

Full bookkeeping

Core already includes Xero support and a review of bookkeeping you do yourself. This is the version where we do the entry instead. You send the paperwork, or it arrives automatically, and the ledgers are simply kept.

• Sales, purchases and bank transactions recorded in Xero
• Bank, card and payment provider accounts reconciled
• Receipt capture set up so the paperwork arrives without anyone chasing it
• Control accounts agreed at each month end
• A short summary of anything that needs a decision from you
• A clean file for VAT returns, management accounts and the year end

Priced on transaction volume and the number of bank accounts, because that is what drives the time, and billed monthly alongside your package. Xero set up, migration from other software and clearing a backlog are one-off fixed fees through eba Assist.

Acting as your agent with HMRC

We are authorised to deal with HMRC on your behalf, and we keep dealing with it. Correspondence is answered as it arrives, queries are handled, and compliance checks are managed by people who do it every day rather than landing on your desk.

• Authorised agent status across VAT, PAYE, corporation tax and self assessment
• HMRC correspondence and queries answered as they arrive
• Compliance checks and enquiries managed on your behalf
• Time to pay arrangements negotiated and kept on track
• Penalties, interest and assessments challenged where there are grounds

Ongoing representation is billed monthly alongside your package. A single enquiry, appeal, disclosure or investigation, with a beginning and an end, is quoted as a fixed fee through eba Assist.

Forecasts kept current

A forecast is only useful while it still describes the business. This keeps the model alive: actual results go in as they come, the assumptions are revisited, and the numbers in front of you are this month's rather than the ones from the day the model was built.

• Actual results fed in as each period closes
• Revenue, cost, profit and cash flow projections re-based
• Assumptions revisited as trading conditions change
• Best, worst and most likely cases kept alongside each other
• Cash flow risks and funding gaps flagged before they arrive

Building the model, and a one-off forecast prepared for a lender or a specific decision, are eba Assist engagements quoted as fixed fees. Enhance is what keeps them current afterwards.

Choose Assist when the work has an end

One piece of work with a deadline: a capital gains return, a VAT or PAYE registration, a company formation, a share valuation, a Xero migration. It is scoped, quoted as a fixed fee, delivered, and then it is done.

You do not have to be an ongoing client to buy it, and there is nothing to cancel afterwards.

Choose Enhance when the work repeats

Work that happens every month: running the payroll, keeping the books, acting as your agent with HMRC, keeping a forecast current. It is priced on the volume that drives it, not on a band.

It is billed monthly alongside your Core, Insights or Partner package and it runs until you say otherwise.
